CERN LLRF activities of the past two years are reviewed. This includes the first two years of LHC Physics running and in particular how the LLRF systems in the injector chain have contributed to the steep luminosity increase in LHC. Major upgrade projects for the future are also reviewed, along with new activities that started in the area of control of super-conducting RF cavities.

The LHC commissioning with beam and the first two years of physics operation, 2010 and 2011 as seen by the RF system are presented with particular emphasis on the encountered problems and solutions. It became clear in early 2010 that RF noise was well under control: the crossing of the much feared 50 Hz line for the synchrotron frequency did not affect the beam. The LHC RF noise is reduced to...
